fe PARES COLLECTION 


Mr. Emile Pares, Antiquarian of Paris and New York, has con- 
signed to the American Art Association to be sold under its invariable 
terms of an unrestricted and unprotected public sale, the extensive 
stock of Antique Furniture, Textiles, Tapestries, Primitive and Early 
Paintings, Bronzes, Sculptured Architectural Objects in many mediums 
and numerous minor Works of Art from his late New York galleries 
at 20 East Fifty-fifth Street, and has also sent from Paris his personal 
collection. of extremely rare and costly Textiles, Tapestries, Ecclesias- 
tical Vestments and Needlework, gathered privately during years of 
patient traveling in many corners of Europe or bought at opportune 
moments from such noted Old World collections as the Comte de 
Chaves, Madrid, The Goyena of Seville, the Duque de Osuna, the de 
Lesseps, Gauthier, Besseliere, Pecquinot, Le Roy and the Duchesse de 
Trévise of Paris, the De Goncourt of Chateau Vierville-sur-Mer and the 
famous artists Fortuny and Flameng. 

The Sale is to be held by reason of the retirement of M1. Pares from 
business and the relinquishment of his New York establishment. 

Numerous important objects discovered and sold by Mr. Pares 
now enrich public and private museums of America. The late Mr. 
Pierpont Morgan acquired, amongst others, the “Famous Treasure of 
Granada,” consisting of a gold necklace and two bracelets beautifully 
wrought with Cloisonne enamels in the Fourteenth Century; a “Baiser 
de Paix magnificently enamelled by Nardon Pencaud and a pair of 
Hispano-Moresque Cloisonné Stirrups” of Fifteenth Century work- 
manship, formerly used by the famous Boabil, the last Moorish King 
of Spain. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a Fifteenth Century 
Flemish Retable of Sculptured Alabaster and a Sandstone Retable, 
ihe pendant to one now to be sold; the latter came from the Twelfth 
Century Cathedral Church of Zamora, Spain. Others who have 
availed themselves of this antiquarian’s discrimination are Mr. Wid- 
ener of Philadelphia, Mrs. Gardiner of Boston, Mr. Larz Anderson of 
Washington, Mr. Frick of New York, The Museum of Fine Arts, Bos- 
ton, the Hispanic Museum, New York and abroad, the Museums of 
Budapest, Lyons, Berlin and many distinguished private patrons. 

The collections now to be sold are of such a wide and interest- 


[2 


ing range that it is impossible to refer individually to the many im- 
portant items. The furniture includes Spanish, Italian and French 
of the Fourteenth to late Kighteenth Centuries, with occasional speci- 
mens of Portuguese and English. Spanish furniture is very adequately 
represented, many Refectory tables, numerous Renaissance and earlier 
chairs of decorative and useful type, Gilded Columns, Brackets, Small 
Tables and Ivory Inlaid Cabinets. Two carved Bois de Fer Four- 
post Beds and two sets of Leather Chairs of Royal Portuguese origin 
are quaint and rich in aspect and exceptionally attractive for a large 
country house. 

French furniture, ranging from the Fifteenth Century Gothic, 
with four important Carved Oak Stalls of great distinction, two from 
the Catedrale d’Oloron St. Marie, France, to the Directoire Period, and 
embracing cabinets and chairs of the early Renaissance. 

The Eighteenth Century brought a degree of comfort and live- 
ableness unknown to the furniture of previous centuries, and the 
genius of the French cabinet-makers invested even the simplest ob- 
jects of that golden age with unusual artistic merit; amongst the 
very useful pieces of furniture are Fifty Small Tables, numerous 
Cabinets, Bonheur-du-jour, Mounted Inlaid Tulip-wood Secretaries, 
Commodes and Encoignures, Carved Walnut Salon Suites, and forty 
or more rare Petit-point Chairs, Canapés, Chaise-longues and Screens 
so very acceptable with their rich colorings and quaint conceits of 
pattern. 

The Tapestries are of importance, especially on accornt of their 
general high average of decorative power and delightful color; Gothic 
Arras, Italian, Flemish, Royal Aubusson and Brussels of the Four- 
teenth to Eighteenth Centuries in Cantonnieres, large and small panels, 
several woven with gold and silver threads. The Aubussons are of fine 
tonal quality, mostly with small scale figures so adaptable to present 
day rooms. Irom the Goldschmidt Collection, Avignon, France, is a 
small Gothic Arras Panel “Charles VI En Roi Sauvage,” one of the 
most interesting specimens of early weaving that has ever been offered 
at public sale. Another unique panel from the Gaulthier Collection, 
Paris, “A Dolorosa” given to the very early Italian Period, is lavishly 
woven with gold threads amid extremely delicate coloring and betrays 
a rare devotional feeling. 

Abundant specimens of old French, Spanish and Italian Damasks, 
Brocades and Ceremonial Tassels in serviceable condition and beau- 


tiful colorings, include several Lampas Panels drawn by that Hight- 
eenth Century French textile genius, Lasalle; two large Italian Crim- 
son Damask Coverlets and several unique animal examples of wonder- 
ful Fifteenth Century Hispano-Moresque craftsmanship. The sump- 
tuous Venetian, Gothic, Jardiniére and Genoese Velvets, magnificent 
Renaissance Gold Embroidered Velvet Ecclesiastical Vestments and 
Banners display a fascinating variety of lovely, shimmering colors, 
Sapphire and Azure Blue, Amethyst, Amber, Botticelli and other 
Greens, Black, Purple and endless tones of Rose Crimson, enlivened in 
many instances with drap d’or, d’argent and scarce bouclé motives. 

There are rare old French, Italian and English Needlework Pic- 
tures and Petit-point Panels. Spanish and Italian Embroidered Linen 
and Filet Lace Table Covers, Coverlets and Lattice Curtains and vari- 
ous Highteenth Century Cottage Chintzes. | 

Ancient Hispano-Moresque, Talavera and Alcora Polychrome 
Faience Tiles eminently distinguished in color and device, are in 
sufficient quantities to give more than a passing note to the fireplace, 
fountain or architectural objects that absorb them. 

The very important Medieval and Renaissance architectural ob- 
jects in Faience, Stucco, Terra Cotta, Bronze, Sculptured Marble, 
Stone and Wood are of extraordinary importance and extremely rare. 

The Sculptures include two significant examples in marble, Fif- 
teenth Century Spanish Gothic, Recumbent Figure of a Governor of 
the Balearic Isles, from the Eglesia Logrono, Province of Rioja, 
Spain; in stone, a Fourteenth Century Gothic Niche, supporting al- 
most life-size figures of the Virgin and Child, in polychrome, a re- 
markable early sculpture found in the Eglesia San Vincente, Zamora, 
Spain; a Gothic niche, perfect in its beautiful tracery and proportion, 
from the Cathedral of Louvain, a Renaissance Hauteville Stone Man- 
tel from the de Goncourt Chateau. 

In wood there are thirty to forty supremely interesting Byzan- 
tine, Gothic and Renaissance groups, statues and statuettes, mostly 
gilded polychrome, sculptured panels, Hispano-Moresque Portals and 
Doors and a Grand Gothic Tabernacle. 

Greek and Roman Antiquities are comprised of several remark- 
able Bronzes discovered in Spain on the estate of the Comte de Chaves, 
and a Roman Mosaic in rare condition exhumed in Tunis. 

Antique objects in Brass and Forged Iron, acceptable for their 
decorative value, are represented by several fine Spanish Brasseros, 


Wall Appliques, a Gothic Weather Vane and several Potences, one 
of the latter has the old pulleys and hook for its original deadly pur- 
pose, that of taking the place of the nearest tree. 

Amongst the Ancient Arms are a number of beautifully propor- 
tioned “Early Model Cannon” mainly from the studio of Poilpot, the 
French painter; a few inlaid Fusils, French Swords and a group of 
noteworthy Sixteenth Century Spanish Rapiers from the Duque de 
Ossuna’s Collection. 

A group of Primitives and Early Paintings of the Spanish, Italian, 
Flemish and Dutch Schools include several interesting examples by 
Barossa, Madonna and Child by Adrien Isenbrandt,of Kautferman, El 
Greco, Zurbaran and several Fifteenth Century Italian examples. 

Many of the Decorative Canvases of the Seventeenth and Hight- 
eenth Centuries will be found very desirable to complement the fur- 
niture of those periods; the same may be said of the Chinese and 
French Porecelains, Miniatures, Fans, Small Bronzes, Ivories, Enamels, 
Lustred Plaques and a multitude of small objects that give a pleasant 
atmosphere where antique furnishings prevail. 

The dispersal of these extensive collections will afford an un- 
usual opportunity to Museums and private collectors to acquire ob- 
jects of extraordinary interest and importance. 


CONDITIONS OF SALE 
1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance 


may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid 


would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 
2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute 


arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either de- 


cide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute.

Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at 
the time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in de- 
fault of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the 
lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be 
necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or 
private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots 
for the benefit of such purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) aris- 


ing from such re-sale shall be a charge against such purchaser.

ment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. | 

Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 
9 A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays—

for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service.

noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior 
to its sale, after which it is sold “as is”? and without recourse. 

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot 
correctly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trust- 
worthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly cata- 
logued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued 
or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would 
become responsible for such damage as might result were his 


opinion without proper foundation.
